| contents | Driven-dissipative qubit-resonator dynamics, which are the basis of most dispersive superconducting qubit measurement schemes, are often modeled with Lindblad master equations built from subsystem local jump operators, even when the qubit and resonator are appreciably hybridized. In this work we revisit this setting using a microscopic Bloch-Redfield approach, where dissipation is constructed in the eigenbasis of the coupled qubit-resonator Hamiltonian with a complete, frequency dependent, open system description of the transmission line environment. Here, we show that the Lindblad and Bloch-Redfield decay rates can be quantitatively different in the absence of driving, while in the driven case we demonstrate that the time-independent Redfield dissipator and its time-dependent generalization can show qualitatively different behaviors as a function of driving strength. Finally, we investigate the effects of driving in structured spectral densities, recovering the suppression of measurement-induced relaxation in the presence of a so called Purcell filter. |
